Well, I guess it is time to get a list going! Please post your online name and your surgery date here so we can find Banding Buddies! You know, someone to commiserate with during days of Bandster Hell, and someone to share Non Scale Victories (NSV) with - like tying your shoes without having the laces crooked. Maybe one day, we can even have a mass "granny pantie" burning!

Darranga (sorry if I mispelt it, it is on a different page!) We are due to be banded on the same day! Woohoo!

Time 4 me - I am not nervous yet either. I have tons of stuff I am doing around the house to get ready though. Things that would bother me if they weren't done. I had a consult with the first surgeon, but decided to switch during the approval period. I haven't met him for my surgery, but met him when he did my SIL's band. My friends hubby also went through him as well. He was very nice and very informative! I go and see him on the 13 of sept. and then surgery a week later! I don't have a pre-op diet with the new surgeon, but have heard that doing the liquid diet will help to shrink the fatty tissue on the liver and stomach. So, if that will mean easier surgery, then I am up for it. Not to mention that I will never gain any of that weight back either! Let me know how your sept. 5 appt goes! Good luck! BTW my name is Tricia

Hi, I'm Lisa and I'm scheduled for 9/10 and I am soooo scared. I have been having weird and scary dreams. I guess it's my subconcious trying to work out my anxiety and fears. :phanvan

Trying to test my new ticker.

Welcome Chilipepper! I haven't had any dreams about the surgery, just ones of me looking oh so hot! Do you have to do a pre-op diet?

<p>Yup, my pre op diet consists of 4-5 EAS Advant Edge Carb Control Shakes (from walmart) with 17g of protein and a lean cuisine. Basically less than 800 calories per day. I'm on day three and soooo look forward to my lean cuisine every night. The shakes are only 110 calories, 3 g of fat, 4g carbs, and no sugar. I'm already tired of chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry, but I just drink them. Instead of taking it day by day, I'm taking in on shake by shake. As long as my liver shrinks that's the important thing. I'm glad I'm not limited to only two shakes a day because after about two hours I'm hungry again. I've been trying to drink water and crystal light in between to trick my tummy into thinking it's full. At the end of the day I put a little sticker star on my calendar because I've accomplished my 800 calories. Oh and my dreams aren't about the surgery, they're about my mom dying (how morbid is that, I love my Mom) and bad stuff like that. I guess dreaming about death is something coming to an end, a start to something new and fresh, rebirth, or a sense of worry will cease to exist. I had to look up the meanings because I was so upset about my dreams. Hopefully just about my anxiety over lapband.

I am getting the great BAND on September 7th. Doing the preop diet. Cant wait !!!

I'm set for 9/18, but only if I lose 15 lbs by then. On liquid diet from hell.:faint:

My name is Beth and my surgery is set fot Sept. 13th!!

My Date is 9/5/2007 with Dr. Waggoner. I am ready to get started with the new me.

This liquid diet sucks!!!!!!!!!!!

Good luck Katmeg99 - It will all be worth it in the end, stick to it as well as you can! Keep us informed!
